Further to the Convict Era terminology:
"Between 1788 and 1852 some 150,000 convicts were transported from Britain to eastern Australia, with New South Wales and Tasmania established as penal colonies. About 25,000 of these were women. With the impending cessation of transportation to the eastern colonies, the British government commenced transportation to Western Australia in 1850, and this continued until 1868. About 10,000 convicts were sent to Western Australia."
